Default SHR Side Louvers on 2009 Grabber Orange GT

I finally convinced my wife that putting SHR side louvers on my 2009 Grabber Orange was a good idea. Now we disagree on weather the louvers should be painted Grabber Orange or Black. They both look good to me but she has her doubts and thinks I should just send them back to American Muscle where I ordered them from. Any Grabber Orange cars with SHR louvers painted Grabber Orange/Black out there?

My personal choice, I would go orange and paint the spolier black, I wish my car was not black so I could mix it up. I think the black shr louvers may look a little out of place.

post a large photo of your car and i will photoshop it.

I like this suggestion. If I recall correctly, a picture I saw of your car, you do/did have a black rear spoiler.

It's likely that black qtr window louvers will work on your car due to the black on the hood and you also have the black fuel door. Otherwise, I'd say definitely painted to match the car.

Black side louvers on a colored car look out of place to me. Like you threw them on there just to see what they look like. I'd go with paint to match the car.

Body color would a little less in your face and more refined.
So yeah, go with that.

Believe me, if this many guys on here concur...it's the safest bet in town bro!
Paint match all day long, the ones I have seen black just did not look good imo.
